Job Description

In today's rapidly evolving educational landscape, driven by advancements such as artificial intelligence and the increasing demand for interdisciplinary and experiential learning, the need for rigorous pedagogical research and data-informed educational improvements is more critical than ever. Enhancing the quality of teaching and supporting continuous improvement of educational programmes requires not only the commitment of educators but also dedicated support in research, analytics, and evaluation.

At the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health (SSHSPH), ongoing efforts to strengthen pedagogical practice are supported by a range of activities, including course evaluations, educational data analytics, and educator-led research initiatives. A recent internal survey demonstrated strong engagement in such efforts, with a large proportion of faculty actively involved in or planning pedagogical research and programme evaluation. Areas of focus include digital learning strategies, the integration of technology in teaching, and the refinement of the public health education framework to meet evolving learner needs.

To sustain this momentum, it is essential to provide continued support for current and ongoing pedagogical research and educational quality assurance efforts. These include the management and analysis of teaching-related data (e.g. student feedback and grades), facilitation of pedagogical research workflows (e.g. literature reviews, ethics submissions, and grant applications), and assistance with manuscript drafting and dissemination of findings.

This request pertains to a one-to-one replacement of an existing staff member who will be leaving the School. The outgoing staff member has been instrumental in supporting these efforts, and the work is well underway across several active projects. Details of these ongoing responsibilities and initiatives are provided in a separate supporting document. Given the critical nature of this role in maintaining the continuity and progress of pedagogical improvement and programme development, there is an urgent need to fill this position without disruption.

Continued support in this role will ensure that educators are equipped to drive evidence-informed improvements in teaching and learning, aligning with the School's broader commitment to academic excellence and educational innovation.

Duties & Responsibilities

a. Streamline and maintain the data systems of the Education Office (e.g. course and student feedback) to support pedagogical quality assurance and continuous educational programme improvement.

b. Perform data analytics to generate insights for enhancing pedagogical quality and educational outcomes.

c. Support the various Programme Directors in initiatives related to pedagogical quality assurance and educational programme improvement.

d. Assist educators with pedagogical research, including:

i. Conducting literature reviews

ii. Preparing grant proposals

iii. Preparing and submitting ethics applications

iv. Collecting data, including participant recruitment, administration of surveys, conducting and transcribing qualitative interviews

v. Conducting preliminary data analysis

vi. Drafting manuscripts for publication

e. Perform other duties as required.

Qualifications

1. Possess at least a Bachelor Degree or an equivalent professional qualification in a relevant subject area (e.g. public health, higher education, data analytics etc).
2. Possess the knowledge and skill to manage databases. This includes the ability to handle, combine, and refine databases to produce data suitable for analysis. Having experience in managing databases, particularly pertaining to higher education will be preferred.
3. Possess the knowledge and skill in scientific research, including data analysis. Having experience in pedagogy research will be preferred.
4. Possess the knowledge and skill in at least one statistical software. Having experience in R and one other statistical software (e.g. SPSS, STATA etc) will be preferred.
